Appolo, what are the requirements? Does it matter how many posts you have on the forums? Also can you give me some tips on how I can become one.

I actually dont think outlining your intentions to be a GoA makes it harder for you, or at least it shouldn't. just means you are gonna have to prove yourself that much more.

Maybe you should post a pic with a sign saying "just for you Otu" so I know it's not from some random website, like that one.

IT DID NOT HAPPEN!

Not only that but I know I play for fun and goodtimes. I'd think it would be a bit stressful to feel that you must constantly police town and the game. Regardless of how level headed a person is it might be hard to not start becoming a power-tripper.

Tap -- Hold -- view image and the web address is shown as a link, the STS app also shows it as a link unless you tap the post

Or

Right click - view image, same web address thing

Well said! I nominate Pandamoni for Pres! Or at least a guardian! Someone who is level headed, nice, and an all around good gal - most of the time.

I honestly don't mind who gets to be the next GoA. As long as they'll treat EVER player they come across respectfully, and follow the rules, goes above and beyond expected, and just be responsible. They're good to go!

I definitely think that the Devs have people in mind for the next GoA's but as many have said if too many are elected it takes away from the positions prestige, and you don't need to be a GoA to help the community.

Constructive Criticism only, please, also no flaming, as usual :).

Honestly, I don't feel that there needs to be any guardians add due to some of them going inactive. I rather have people earn the spot as a guardian than filling it just because someone goes inactive.

Also, what are a guardians duties on the forums?

Also, I think the title Guardian of Alterra should just be an indicator of a great forum member/role model. (a good example) Nothing more.

I wanna be one so badly to start letting people take me seriously. lol but I have done 3 Guides soo far,Really hard work tho...But remember guys here ar much more who deserve it Like Royce! sadly he is beeing inactive,Altho all of them are mostly beeing inactive...Hope STS will make elections for 5 more :P lol I still dontdeserve it :)

Guides alone are not the only thing that they look at. I've noticed a sharp increase in the amount of guides that people are making in hopes that this will guarantee them a spot. A lot of these guides are hastily made, incomplete, contain misinformation, and/or regurgitated info from previous guides.

Just keep helping the community and DON'T ask for it or make it your goal of helping only to obtain GOA.

Pew, you are correct. The Guardian Shield is a reward for past role model behavior and is based on their estimation that you are naturally inclined that way and will remain so. The shield can always be taken away. Guardians don't have duties. Remember how the PL Shield they gave ViolentSaint was for a different reason than all other PL Shields? Well, if there were GoAs at the time, VS would have been made one instead. So that's a good jumping off point. I'd say that VS was, in a way, the first Guardian. All other PL Shields were contest prizes. Then, when the Guardian Shield first came out, they awarded a few as contest prizes, which made things confusing. Now, however, it's pretty clear that PL Shields are prizes and Guardian Shields are awards.

But other than be a role model, there is no function of a Guardian. The devs first imagined that they might utilize Guardians to bounce ideas off, or even to test new features and give preliminary feedback. But the place to bounce ideas off certain players (Guardians, oldies, scribes) is hardly used anymore, and beta testing will be done by those who have specific operating systems through certain providers. Practical reality trumped the initial vision. So, I'm not sure there need to be more Guardians, except if they are role models.

I'd rather see more scribes, as there are more people making guides these days, and a vanity for the scribes.

I was typing out a long, rambling post, but then I realized what I had wrote was pretty much encompassing what you wrote, Snake.

Stating the obvious:

I just re-read the thread & noticed that everyone I expect to become GoA is already a "Chronicler of Alterra".

Is that now the official designation for GoA candidates?
